Marieve* - I give this one a 8 or 9, meaning I love it. I think it can be used in US and won't stand out as some weird Euro name. I think it's a very beautiful French name. This is the first time I've seen it. Thanks for bringing it to my attention.
Bérengère* - I'm not sure on how to pronounce this one. If someone could be further help with pronouncing it, I would appreciate it. I rate this a 4 because of the problem with pronouning it. What I could pronounce I didn't like and I don't care much for the look of it.
Ombeline* - I give this a rating of 6. It's okay. I don't entirely like the sound of it. The look of it is a bit funny to me. I think it works better as a middle name.
Aubeline - I give this a 7 1/2. This one is much better then Ombeline.
Nadège - I rate this a 7. It's okay. I like it fine. It's not easy to pronounce it by just looking at it for English speaking people.
Mazarine* - I give this a rating of 8. I like this one a lot. It's one of the prettiest -ine ending names that i've ever seen. It has a nice flowing sound that I think would work in
France and US.
Josiane* - This one's a 7. I don't think this name would work in the US. No one would pronounce it.

Argider - I rate this a 1. I don't care for it at all. I find nothing appealing about it.
I was wondering why French names?
